What happens after death?

[Nice]

It is a nice thought, it really is, but doesn't it strike the people who believe in afterlife (no offense meant, I'm merely asking) that it is very contradictory to continue living after experiencing the opposite right before it? And that's where my point comes into play, if there truly is an afterlife (which, by the way, is a topic where science is completely unrelated) then it would be a complete waste to die, because you'll live afterwards anyway, what purpose does "death" have then, if not just adds unnessecary complications and uncomfyness (if that's a word)?

If you were religious you'd have a different view about this matter. You wouldn't percieve death as the end, you'd just see it as a continuation (probably spelled that wrong) so it takes away that "contradiction".

Why would dying be a waste ? this is going to sound funny to atheists but as i said, to a religious person, death is nothing close to "end", death is just a part of life when our souls leave the human body and go wherever they go (each religion has its own explaination)

But then again, there's lots of religions, lots of cults and different explainations with lots of different theories.

so the only thing we can do is wait and see for ourselves, are we going to just cease to exist ? be reborn into animals ? humans ? go to heaven, hell or purgatory ? Valhala ? disco with Zeus ?
